Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and on the streetscene

What decided it

The rear location of the units means they are barely visible from the street and domestic paraphernalia would normally be expected at the rear of dwellings, resulting in no significant harm to character and appearance.
